One of the better Shiraz I've had. Bacon fat, cured meats, ripe red and black fruit, and hints of eucalyptus balanced by lovely acidity and fine tannins.

There's a lot of Brett wrapping the flavors here. I did enjoy it overall.

A good wine with an interesting story. Every time I look at this new logo, I will just laugh.

Great with beef stew - lovely aromatics and it little age (and the Viognier ) smoothed out the edges... Blackberry, meaty, alcohol held in balance- 2010
